as a "Lorem Ipsum..." advocate, I fear the end of times for our noble tradition of jibberish font testing.

/ "Lorem Ipsum" was the fictitious name I used when I took the bar exam. I thought it was a double funny. (1) jibberish words to examine a typeface, (2) derived from Cicero's extremes of good and evil (relevant portion translated below):

"But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born..."

You mean "gibberish," don't you?

that would explain why it looked so misspelled. huh. they say if you can't spell the word you probably shouldn't use it. I guess i should refrain from using that word.

Going back years ago, when I ran cad/cam/imaging for a production partner of Victoria's Secret, one of my test images that were nothing but blobs that were overlapping to check out the (then) high end wax thermal color printers. About six months later while on a date we walked past a VS and that pattern was there in the window on a night t-shirt. I went into hysterics, had to explain why, spent 1/2 hour explaining the overlaps and what I was testing for, etc.

I suggest you drop it, Mr. Data. You enjoyed that. Computer, lights up! Now, how the hell do we defeat an enemy that knows us better than we know ourselves? Commander William Riker of the Starship Enterprise. The Federation's gone; the Borg is everywhere! You did exactly what you had to do. You considered all your options, you tried every alternative and then you made the hard choice. That might've been one of the shortest assignments in the history of Starfleet.

russlar:I used Dunecat as a test image once. Years later, I think they're still using it as a test image.

I once used a Spore version of the Goatse guy as a (sfw) place holder image in a Programming for Psychologists class. My logic went like this: 1. People who know what it is will find it funny. B. People who don't know just see some weird alien.

The prof found it funny and he asked if I got it from 4Chan. Then he explained to the class what 4chan is.

When we had to shut down a system used for audio production due to maintenance, I made sure that the first file playedwhen we brought it back up was "Daisy Bell", since there was a very real (though small) possibility that the storage unitsfor the system might not come up as they had been running continuously for at least 5 years.

I didn't tell the operators: I just told them to load & play the file marked PLAY ME FIRST.
